@Lisa that sounds familiar. I read it years ago. It’s the one where the mother wrote a letter to her daughters before she dies and that’s how the book starts
@Jodie, then that’s definitely the one I thought it was. When I looked up the name of the book the search came back with 2 of the same titles. Thanks for the recommendation ?
I was going to write down all the books that made me shed tears but the length of the list is really quite embarrassing ? I will say that Mockingjay destroyed me! Still have not recovered. Also, Everything Beautiful Is Not Ruined and Second Chance Summer were tear-jerkers. I’ll leave it at that lol
Nearly made me cry? Lots and lots. Actually cry – and I mean U.G.L.Y cry: When Breath Becomes Air, A Man Called Ove, A Prayer for Owen Meany, A Monster Calls. Just off the top of my head.
Not nearly. ? I never cry “nearly”. I’m crying wholeheartly, and almost every book made me crying. But i got some ugly crying by The Book Thief, A darker shade of magic, Harry Potter-series, almost every Dune-book, Humans by Matt Haig, etc, etc. ??? Almost every book, as i said. ?
I want to read something that makes me laugh as I’m very elderly and need laughter in my life. I’m so tired of angry or bitter people telling other people what not to write. I just want to read something uplifting that will bring a smile to my face. Grateful for being able to write and read. I’m so diminished by seeing the Sunday comics making fun of the stereotypes of older people with loses such as teeth or a need for assistive devices, etc. What’s making people laugh at loss due to age in the usual Sunday newspaper comics? I’d prefer the papers joke about the energy of youth because so far few have written/illustrated comics about the wisdom of age.
Put C and… Gone with the Wind, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Old Man and the Sea, we were Liars, If I Stay, all creatures great and small, lessons from a sheepdog, The Incredible Journey, Because of Winn-Dixie, Shiloh, Lonesome Dove,
Yes…I swore I would read no more dog books…then, I read that one. Again I said no more, but have been requested to read A Dog’s Purpose and The Art of Racing in the Rain….?
Oh yes, I cried too. Fred’s death nearly did me in! Oh, and the others, LOL! I don’t know why, though, Fred really got me bawling my eyes out and I wasn’t even pregnant at the time I read it!
The Nightingale, Night Road, My Sisters Keeper, Nineteen Minutes, Sing You Home, The Guardian (hell…just about anything by Nicholas Sparks), The Glass Castle…
The Code of Claw, last book in Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins. There were so many deaths and I read it in middle school. It’s probably one of three books that’s ever made me cry.
Oh same here. Maybe by Christmas. I have an entire series to read and the newest books in my James Patterson series that I read coming out… so that makes (James Patterson books) 5 books but 3 are gonna be all read in May and 2 i have to wait until October and November… so my series I’m reading now and the stand alones should keep me busy until then.
I cry over anything touching. When my parents corrected me. Walking up the aisle, and down, at my wedding (happily). Any of Nicholas Sparks’ books, especially.
The one I’m currently writing…and I’m not sure if it’s because of the content or out of frustration.
Also, I am reading Game Change by Ken Dryden.
It has made me cry because it discusses mental health issues, concussions, suicides, and some pretty heavy stuff that hockey players, other high impact athletes, their friends, and families have had to deal with because of everything related. All that has impacted my life and is very real to me.
I weep for them and I weep for what I cannot recall and how this impacts my future.
